Evolution of Tourism
Tourism was one of the most stable and predictably growing industries in the world before the COVID19 epidemic that emerged in late 2019 and burst in spring 2020. Initially, it was the middle classes of Western Europe and North America, which grew stronger in the 1950s and '60s, that started travelling - then came the regime-changing countries of Eastern Europe, and finally the Asian masses, which have emerged in incredible numbers over the last few decades. The emergence of low-cost airlines and the development of domestic tourism, following the example of Hungary, also contributed to the post-2010 domestic boom.
Not only has the size of the affluent social strata increased, but continuous innovation has also contributed to the transformation of tourism into a key industry. Whereas previously the only way to travel between continents was by boat, the development of air transport has enabled more and more people to travel to more distant landscapes. At the same time, intra-continental destinations have become more accessible with the emergence of low-cost airlines 10-20 years ago - while shipping has become a new service for the leisure industry, with thousands of passengers relaxing in city-sized floating hotels.
About us
Voxiti Ltd., which has been in existence since 2008, started thinking about developing a "tourist attraction" device system in 2016. Since then, a lot of water has flowed down the Danube - at that time, our ideas, desires and plans had to be partially adapted to the explosive technological possibilities and demand needs that do not always resonate with them, by constantly monitoring the market.
This is how our project was transformed into a demand planning-driven solution search for the 2020 launch.
Of course, the pandemic hit us hard. The prices for raw materials and services were nothing compared to what we had planned in 2016-17. As we wanted to implement the project anyway - due to the positive feedback from the market - we had to find suitable interim solutions. Our end goal has not changed: to provide a unique, up-to-date experience for users - for the time being in the tourism sector. Unfortunately, we had to cut corners along the way.
